Chapter 370
No woman had ever left Jasper feeling as defeated as Alyssa did. Even when Liana had used andbetrayed him, the strongest emotion he’d felt was rage.
Staring at the newer and tidier lobby than Berenike Hotel, Jasper smiled helplessly.
When Alyssa had married him, she always seemed unworldly and acquiescent. He had never lookeddown on her countryside background, but he always believed that they were worlds apart and sharedno
common ground.novelbin
He finally understood that he was too far removed from her world, even if he tirelessly played catch up.
He realized that Alyssa had put aside her pride to stay by his side for three years. That was the onlytime
she was within his reach.
She was never out of his league. It was the other way around.
Sean happened to engage in a work discussion with two hotel managers. He turned around and wasshocked to find Jasper standing in the lobby. His eyes darkened.
“That’s all for now. Go.”
“Got it, Mr. Lynch.” After the managers left, Sean marched up to Jasper with a cold expression. Hesaid, ” Mr. Beckett, the restaurant is to the left, the bar to the right, and the café on the third floor. Ifyou’re here
to book a room, please speak to the front desk staff.”
“I’d like to meet Ms. Alyssa,” Jasper got straight to the point as he scanned his surroundings
emotionlessly.
“Who do you think you are, demanding to meet our Ms. Alyssa on a whim?” Sean smirked. He wouldhave
thrown Jasper out if it weren’t for the hotel’s etiquette in dealing with guests.
“Whatever. I must meet Ms. Alyssa today.”
Jasper found that he was increasingly thick-skinned. In the past, he would have left after beinghumiliated.
However, he ignored Sean’s taunt and stayed, for it wouldn’t hurt him anyway. He would lose sleep ifhe
failed to see her.
“She won’t see you. You’ll only spoil her mood,” Sean asserted, trying to shoo Jasper away. “Youshould scram if you know better. Don’t even think of meeting her when I’m around.”
“Fine. But I need to hear it from her.” Jasper did not back down. “You’ve stepped on her toes. Yourwords

“Are you picking trouble with me?” Face flushed, Sean was about to argue with Jasper when theyheard a
clear voice from behind that struck Jasper’s heart.
“Mr. Lynch, is Lyse still busy at work?”
Jasper spun around and saw Jameson leisurely approaching them in a neat outfit. The two handsome
men stood in front of Sean, ignoring each other, but Sean clearly picked up on the tension betweenthem.
The lobby was about to turn into a battlefield at any minute.
Sean silently cussed at Jameson for being clingy. He so badly wanted to throw the two men into a cage
and make them fight.
“Mr. Schmidt, you shouldn’t be using her nickname in public, especially in the hotel that she manages.”
Sean was equally cold to Jameson.
Jasper silently snickered and suddenly found himself liking this secretary of Alyssa’s.
“Sure. Is she busy? When will she be done?” Jameson remained unfazed by Sean’s remark. He wasrather
humble and adaptive. “I’d like to take her out for dinner as a thank you for getting my mom Christina
Hammond’s signed CD.”
“I’m not too sure,” Sean replied, addressing both men.
“I can wait.” Jasper and Jameson spoke at the same time. They turned to each other briefly before
looking away in disgust.
What terrible luck!
“You don’t have to wait. She won’t meet you even if you camp here tonight,” Sean replied.
Right after that, he heard Alyssa’s stern’ but lovely voice coming from his earpiece. She inquired,“Sean,
what’s happening in the lobby?”
